Fall is here and winter is right around the corner.  Is your home ready for the cold?  This is an ideal time to winterize your home and make it more energy efficient.  Improving energy efficiency in your home can help you save money and make your home more comfortable. 

The Environmental Sustainability Committee in partnership with the City of Fairfax, PEG Environmental Solutions and the Fairfax Renaissance Housing Corporation is holding a home energy efficiency workshop “Winterizing Your Home”.  Experts will provide guidance on topics such as caulking, weather stripping, smart thermostats, heating systems, windows, energy audits and more!   Attendees will have the chance to participate in hands-on demonstrations and can sign up to win a free home energy audit!  Children are also welcome to attend and learn about saving energy through fun activities at our kids’ station staffed by members of the Fairfax High School Green Club.  Thanks to all sponsors and volunteers for making this event possible. 

The workshop will be held from 2:00 p.m to 4:30 p.m. on November 10th at the Green Acres Community Center, 4401 Sideburn Road.  Admission is free to all. For information, call 703-385-7816.
